Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding it to be caused by the Veteran's service-connected PTSD with major depressive disorder.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion provided by a specialist in sleep disorders and neurology was found to be more probative than VA opinions, as it addressed the Veteran's specific symptoms and referenced relevant medical literature.
